White95 Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Blocked the unnecessary o2 ports in my exhaust. Yes, I tightened them down but not before chasing the threads. Took a random, 90* spark plug boot and repurposed it as a vacuum fitting for the MAP sensor. Pulled the dash part to get to the factory cluster wiring. Removed the red/green + green/red wires and tied them together to complete the ignition to alternator circuit. Should charge now. BUT..... Now the stupid circuit breaker isn’t functioning at all. It is internally fooked somehow and I’m getting zero voltage with it closed. Stupid POS MF.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White95 Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 One day, when I grow up, I will have some sort of lift. This struggling under the car on the carport floor is for the fucking birds. That said, I swapped my exhaust out Now, for the first time ever, my car has a mostly new exhaust with the headers being the only used part. The cast of characters: BBK headers BBK off-road x-pipe Dynomax UltraFlo mufflers Flowmaster Fox LX tail pipes So, that bring us to the obligatory first start with the new mufflers video. This sum bitchin alternator still doesn’t seem to be charging, even with the completed dash circuit. That means it’s still not tuned and runs like shit but hey, it runs... Changed some wiring up under the hood and now it actually runs on it’s own, but still didn’t charge. New alternator! 14.1v at “idle” This video is after the alternator swapped out.

White95 Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 We’re finding more issues: MAP sensor is reading -2.36 inHg I’m picking up a replacement part now. Plugs were shit and have been swapped out.. Wideband sensor wasn’t even hand tight, d’oh!! Growing pains but on the right track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White95 Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Swapped out the MAP sensor and plugs. We will start tuning again at 1000 on Sunday. So, I moved on to bleeding the brakes. Decided to use a hand pump and I’ve been screwing myself for years. This is much easier than the old way. Just as I was finishing the job I noticed a fucking leak. It’s as tight as it can possibly get without damaging it so looks like I’ll be taking it apart, again. Suppose it’s better to find out this way and not by smashing into something. Needed a victory so I populated the table for my fan controller. Hooray!! I’ll find out tomorrow if it works!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetpilot Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) This is good stuff. So glad to see that it was just the alternator, and that you straightened out the wiring for the idle. What was wrong with it? On another note, I can see the vids but only some of the pics. Maybe it's me? Edited April 26, 2020 by streetpilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetpilot Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Mother of God. Coyote time? I figured this whole B-motor swap was all about making sure you had a working mod motor car to facilitate an “easier” (fewer potential pushrod-to-mod motor conversion fail points) ‘Yote swap. If I’m wrong, it won’t be the first time. Edited May 19, 2020 by streetpilot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m wrong, it won’t be the first time. You aren’t wrong. That was the goal initially and I’ve had the 5.0 since last September. Fell into a steal of a deal for a T56 Magnum and then I started collecting parts. Ran into some minor issues with the 4.6 and I wasn’t interested in troubleshooting the issues. Found a buyer who agreed to the right price and now the Coyote swap is in full swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabres Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Pretty surprised at how well Holley's coyote harness seems to fit in your photo. I couldn't believe how poorly the 4V one fit when I got mine. I've moved literally every plug on it. If I could have done over I would have bought a flying lead or unterminated harness and did it myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean about the 4V harness because some sections had too much slack and other not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White95 Posted June 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Stripped more stuff from the engine in preparation of future stages. Installed the AC compressor alignment brackets and the other engine mount. Sort of cleaned up my work area and put the car back on the ground...again. This week I’ll be stripping the engine bay of the remaining 4.6 bits, scrubbing it down and painting it. Slowly beginning to work the list down. Figured out which cam and sensor goes where. Put the cam covers back on and called it a day. Now, onto the prequel trilogy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy Killer.. I just set it in place for a picture, I won’t be installing them u til the engine swap it finished. All of the mounting holes are there and the tabs on the inside as well. I’ll have to fabricate splash shields for the inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White95 Posted June 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Now I’m going to tell on myself. The transmission isn’t in the car. Why? Neglect. What? Yes, neglect. As in, I neglected to buy flywheel bolts and I don’t have a pilot bearing. I’m also missing a few coil pack bolts and the alignment dowels for the AC compressor. Not the end of the world but it would’ve been nice to have furthered this along. Speaking of transmissions, the QuickTime bellhousing doesn’t fit with BBK headers. Period. The BFH made it all better though. All in all, I’m not unhappy with the fact we knocked all of the internal engine upgrades out and dropped it into the car. That alone was no small feat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White95 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Took a few minutes to start pulling the Holley stuff through the firewall and then installed the throttle body. That was when I realized the cold air would hit the hood. Man.. I hate growing pains. That Coyote intake to Fox TB plate is easily 1/2” thick and might have to go. Loosely set things in place and shut the hood to confirm my suspicion. Knocked it loose immediately. Granted the hood is closing a bit more than it should, as the “bumpers” aren’t in place, I still think it would possibly interfere. Wait a minute.. I think I figured this out.. 20 minutes ago, Prokiller said: still, for a single day of work, that's pretty impressive. Thanks mate. It was a good day and we only had a few delays. Had to run out for a 12-pt 19mm socket around lunch. Which cost @LWARRIOR1016 a radiator hose in his 98 GT. Went back to the house to get my truck, return to a different Oreillys for said hose AND THEN go wait 20-25 minutes at Popeye’s for lunch. At which time I realized I didn’t know where my bell housing index plate was. 😂😂 We pissed a good 1.5-2 hrs away before we started to see things weren’t going to complete.
